I was into different podcasts for music and different things and then I stumbled on one which is Jamie Lee Grace and Craig Beck and I thought right okay I'll listen to these and Craig Beck from one episode and it was like 13 minutes long of it something changed what he it was just what he said something changed the mindset in me.
Ever wondered how someone can transform their life after years of heavy drinking? Meet Chris B, a 46-year-old father who has been sober for 18 months. In this episode of 'Voices of Sobriety: Real People, Real Recovery', Chris opens up about his past and the pivotal moments that led him to embrace sobriety. Growing up during the hedonistic 1990s, Chris found himself immersed in a culture of rock music, smoking, and excessive drinking.
His time working in Ibiza only intensified these habits. Returning home, he pursued a career as a stone mason and became a father to an 8-year-old daughter. However, the COVID-19 pandemic brought new challenges, including a breakup and daily drinking struggles. Faced with health issues, Chris decided it was time for a change. He now proudly serves as an admin for the Instagram group @midlandssobersociety and enjoys the freedom that sobriety brings.
Chris shares valuable advice from his journey: prioritize your own well-being, connect with sober communities, learn to say no, and embrace your feelings. Tune in to hear Chris's candid story and gain insights into navigating drinking culture, societal attitudes towards alcohol, and the importance of support networks.
